Lend a Helping Hand to Your Brother.
Editor Mirror:
While reading about cOlOred lady of the
south that goes around preaching to the
people of both cOIOrS, one passage in her
speech awakens thoughts that am sorry to
say are too true. She uses the words,
''SOme of You are like hoecake. cooked
only on one side. You come to church on
Sunday and nothing is too good for you to
do, but on Monday you show the raw side
by lying and doing everything that is bad"
How many of us in this place do the same
thing? We go to church Sunday, and
many of lis form good resolutions to do
better. but when Monday comes we 60 to
our different works thinking. ''Well, will
not commit one sin any more" for instance,
swearing. and you will go along with your
work, and your mind is dwelling all the
time on this one thing so as to guard against
it when the temptation comes; and it will
come and your fellow man will be the
cause. He will notice it and make some
such remark as, well, you are getting re-
ligiOn. are you?" or when are you going
to join the church," and make light of you
for trying to improve yourself, instead of
trying to help you. | think this is the
worst thing we can do to our fellow prison.
ers. Let lis therefore help each other. and
if we see anyone trying to reform some of
his bad habits. take hold and help him all
we can. If we cannot do them any good,
don't try to DO them harm by endeavOring
to keep them from making men of them
selves. If a man intends to live an honest
life, after he goes from this place, think
he can tit himself while here so that when
he does leave here he will not be ashamed
to go among his family. for one should
be ashamed to go out of here to day and go
where my old mother is, and the first words
l could say to her would be accompanied
with all OATH She would have cause to
think that God had forsaken me entirely
Some of you, if not all. have mother,
sister, wife or child that you hope some day
to meet on earth. Let us then meet them
with good news-if not Oh earth, then try
to be ready to greet them in heaven. Some
of the readers of THE MIRROR NAV say
well, there is no use to reform while here;
l will wait till l get out. and then l will
live an honest life and do better" l say to
them now is the time and this is the place.
for if you wait till you 90 out the first place
you go to when you get outside of these
walls will be some saloon. l know this by
experience. WILLIAM STEVENS.

The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1887-11-09
Nov. 5, 1887

On our table we find copy of spicy
little sheet called THE PRISON MIRROR,
edited by prisoner, and printed by prison.
ers in the state penitentiary at Saltwater.
This privilege was accorded to them by
the new warden, Mr. II. G. Stordock, who,
in our opinion, has inaugurated a decided
change for the better in prison discipline
well as in our own, show most incontestibly
that there is plenty of room for improve
ment in the management of prison affairs
Now we hold the theory that man, how
ever bad. is not all boil, and although he
may have broken every law in the deca-
lOgue. at the same time he has a latent
string, which if rightly touched, will re-
spond with true ring and yield music
For years severity has been the rule, and
we are strongly inclined to think Except in
very rare caseS.) with poor success. Take
our individual dispositions: what different
effect kind or unkind word has upon us:
let person try the effect of IF you
please" or go and do it," Wespeak from
twenty eight years experience in the army,
and know whereof we speak. Not that we
advocate anything approaching to severity
either to il convict or a free citizen, but
what we mean is that considering the fact
that by far the larger portion of the inmates
OF the prison house are only incarcerated
for terms OF from two to five or even ten
years; they are supposed to again be- at the
end OF their terms of punishment, restored
to the rights of citizenship. The question
is whether such severity, which has always
the effect Of rendering human nature com
batative, is more conducive to the making
OF good citizen, than corresponding de-
gree OF Kindness. BY this we don't mean
preaching, for we take no stock in that, as
factor, but showing little acts of considera-
ton to the prisoner; letting him see and feel
that you are more his friend in adverstv and
disgrace than the unfiinching an unfeeling
Jailer. We feel convinced that for one man
reformed by the old there will be fifty bv
the new.
Another point that occurs to us. and
that is. that by isolating a man who has
committed crime, he naturally brOods, and
as he brOods he becomes more and more
hostile to what he calls the tyrants of the
law. Now, if that man be allowed to in
dulge III harsMlesS reereations, and instruct
i've occupations in his easure hours, he has
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1887-11-09

less time for moody and morOse meditation
and his mind naturally acquires more
healthy tone. Consequently when free, in
stead of feeling hostility to his jailers, he
is more disposed to look upon them as men
who have tried to save him from sinking
utterly. We hope to see this kind of re-
form 60 on, and the warden who does the
most to ameliorate the sad lot of his charges,
will merit not only their gratitude but also
that of the whole community.--Rush City
Post. Oct. IA.
